Chris Evans Set To Return To The MCU Already?!?

by Jay Cochran

Deadline is reporting that Chris Evans is very close to setting a deal that would see him return as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is despite a number of times the actor suggesting he was fully retired from the role.

If or when he returns, don't expect another Captain America solo movie, but look for him to return in the capacity of a supporting character in other MCU films.

Well of course they are. Just about everything the MCU has done not called GOTG3 has been utter garbage. So what do you do? Go back to when things were good. Russo's, RDJ and Chris Evans. Of course it will be only a temporary band aid but maybe it'll give Feige and crew that little bit of extra time needed to pull their heads out of their derrirs. But probably not.

Sounds like more desperate fan casting. Hydra Cap is the obvious choice, but they did already make a reference to that in Endgame, plus it would be a bit obvious for two returning MCU stars to be playing villains

My bet is he gonna be Hydra Cap, if its true theres likely gonna be moment in the movie when audience will think Cap is back only to find out its actually a twist and we have evil Cap.

Interesting. Can't really say I'm surprised though; I never believed for a second that we'd seen the last of Steve or Tony in these films, since both Marvel Comics, Hollywood and even literary authors have been doing this forever the moment their viewership/ readership/ sales start to tank. Because I liked CE's take on Cap, I'm curious to see what they do with him. Even so, I still think they missed an opportunity to introduce a new alt-reality Steve Rogers; bigger and younger naturally, lol.

Chris Evans back in Avengers Doomsday?? eek, just stop, I get it all of these actors are hungry for a Marvel/Disney Cheque again in their lives, but then why bow out from the role in the first place? starting to feel desperate on both the actors and the studio, we had a great sign off for Chris evans as cap, and we also had a lovely end to Robert as Tony, yet they want back in, I was hoping the MCU was going to get itself back together but I'm feeling less and less like that's going to happen like they now just wanna do reunion tours and play the greatest hits with new band members.

According to TheWrap, actor Chris Evans will be making his MCU return in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. It was announced during SDCC that actor Robert Downey Jr. would also be returning to the MCU for this movie but not as Iron Man, instead as the villain Dr. Doom.Evans had a brief return to Marvel this past year when he revised his original 20th Century Fox role of the Human Torch in the Deadpool and Wolverine movie. The forgone conclusion would be that Evans would be returning as Steve Rogers but that has not been confirmed at this time.The last time we saw Evans as Steve Rogers he had grown old after traveling through time in Avengers: Endgame. In the Falcon and Winter Soldier Disney+ series they did reference Steve Rogers as being off in some unkown place.In the comics Rogers did for a time portray an old man Steve Rogers where he donned the (what in the MCU movies has been dubbed the Winter Soldier movie blue outfit) and became the leader of SHIELD as Commander Rogers. Eventually he regained his youth and resumed the mantle of Captain America. Right now in the movies of course Sam Wilson has taken on the mantle of Captain America.Avengers: Doomsday is expected to be a big movie that will bring together a number of heroes and maybe villains to which will be directed by the Russo Brothers who also directed Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame,Like we saw with Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, Doomsday is supposed to be part 1 of a climatic story-arc that will conclude in the follow-up Avengers movie titled Secret Wars which will also be direcred by the Russo Brothers.Avengers: Doomsday is slated for release on May 1, 2026.

Captain America's ending in the MCU was actual nonsense. They went to great lengths to show us in Endgame that going back in time using Pym particles was actually creating branching timelines in adjacent universes. Thor stole Mjolnir before it was destroyed, Loki escaped with the tesseract,Tilda Swinton lectured Hulk about doomingher world to save his, etc. Then Rogers goes back in time using the same technology, but somehow grows old naturally in the past of the prime MCU? What am I missing? He should have been growing old in some adjacent universe until he decided to rematerialize on that platform, which he never did.

Funnily enough, it shows that they didn't think this through at all since in interviews the directors and the writers have given contradictory explanations. The Russos have said that Steve grew old in a parallel timeline before (somehow) returning to the prime timeline (which would be correct), while Markus and McFeely believehe stayed in the prime timeline.

Could be the Captain America from the 50s. He took a bad batch of the super soldier serum and it made him nuts so they put him away. That's what I would guess they're doing.
